SEED OATS 
We make quite a specialty of these, having them grown 
especially on contract for us; they are large, plump, free from weed 
seeds or other foreign substance, and of high vitality. Sow at the 
rate of 2)4 to 3 bushels per acre alone or 1)4 bushels with peas 
during April for best results. 32 lbs. per bu. 
Storm King ( Pedigreed Stock). This improved strain produces 
well filled heads of plump, white grains, with a slight tendency 
toward side growth. Straw very stiff, often measuring 5 feet 
in height. A heavy producer, sometimes yielding as high 
as 85 bushels per acre. Price, 20c. per qt. (by parcel post, 30c.). 
Swedish or Washington. The long, erect straw is noted for its 
ability to stand up in rough weather; grains are very plump and 
nearly pure white in color. Price, 15c. per qt. (by parcel post, 
25c.). 
Welcome. A well-known and extensively grown variety; extra 
strong straight straw; large plump grains. Price, 15c. per qt. 
(by parcel post, 25c.). 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This can be pastured 8 weeks after sowing; sow 
in succession, as the stock eats it close to the ground and it will 
not stand pasturing any great length of time. Sow 6 lbs. per 
acre broadcast, from April 1st to October 1st. It produces 
enormous crops and is ideal green manure. 50 lbs. per bu. 
15c. per lb. (by parcel post, 25c.). 
SUDAN GRASS 
An annual, and must be sown each year. Resembles millet 
somewhat; stock seems to relish it; will yield from 2 to 4 tons per 
acre. Sow in drills or broadcast 16 to 24 lbs. per acre; several 
cuttings can be made from a sowing in one season. Thrives well 
in a season of drought. 40 lbs. per bu. Price, 30c. per lb. (by 
parcel post, 40c.). 
SUGAR CANE or SORGHUM 
Early Amber. Either green or in a cured state this makes ideal 
cattle food. The seed can be threshed out of the stalks and used 
as poultry feed. It is a tremendous producer, growing often 
12 feet high; it stands the hot, dry weather and can be cut 
several times in one season. Sow 25 lbs. of seed to the acre in 
drills 3)4 feet apart; 1 or 2 bushels broadcast. 50 lbs. per bu. 
15c. per qt. (by parcel post, 25c.). 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. This makes a splendid poultry food, 
especially for Winter use, on account of its heating and fattening 
qualities; will yield sometimes as high as sixty bushels per acre. 
Sow 10 qts. per acre in drills 3 feet apart, dropping the seed 
about every 4 inches. Prices (subject to change); 15c. per lb. (by 
parcel post, 25c.); 40c. per 3 lbs. (by parcel post, 50c.) ; 5 lbs., 
65c. (by parcel post, 80c.); $1.25 per 10 lbs. (by parcel post,

listed will be quoted upon application. 
Spring Rye 
RYE (for Seeding) 
Spring. An excellent early green food, or for pasture; the grain 
is used for feeding and other purposes, while the straw is a very 
fine quality, making a larger yield than the Winter rye. Sow 
from May 1st to June 1st; 1)4 bushels to the acre. 56 lbs. per 
bu. Don’t sow Winter Rye in Spring as it will not grow at that 
season. 20c. per qt. (by parcel post, 30c.). 
Pennsylvania White Winter. Winter rye will not mature if 
sown in Spring. 15c. per qt. (by parcel post, 25c.). 
Rosen Winter Rye. An improvement on the Pennsylvania White 
Winter Rye. 15c. per qt. (by parcel post, 25c.). 
TIMOTHY SEED 
Our stocks of this important hay producing seed are espe¬ 
cially fine; thoroughly recleaned, and free from weeds. If sown 
alone it requires 25 lbs. to seed an acre; if sown with wheat 12 to 
15 pounds are the usual quantities. 45 lbs. per bu. 40c. per lb. 
(by parcel post, 50c.). 
VETCHES or TARES 
Winter Vetch (Vida Villosa). Sometimes called Sand or Hairy 
Vetch. Our stock of this is the true type, which will absolutely 
live throughout the Winter. Sow broadcast from August 1st 
to October 1st at the rate of 1 bushel per acre, to which we 
suggest adding a bushel of Winter rye or wheat. In the Spring 
it can be plowed under as green manure, or when in flower 
cut for hay. 60 lbs. per bu. Price, 30c. per lb. (by parcel post 
40c.). 
Spring Vetch {Vida Sativa). The seed of this is larger than the 
“Winter” and of a brownish gray color. It is not hardy and 
must therefore, be sown in the Spring during May or June, 
1 to 2 bushels per acre if broadcast, and 1 bushel if in drills, 
with either Spring wheat, Spring rye or oats, for support. Has 
the same desirable features as the Winter vetch. 60 lbs. per bu. 
Price, 20c. per lb. (by parcel post, 30c.). 
SPRING WHEAT 
Saskatchewan Fife. A favorite sort in this locality and is used 
on account of its prolific, vigorous growth and early qualities. It 
often produces 50 bushels per acre. Sow in April or May, 1)4 
to 2 bushels per acre, broadcast or in drills. 60 lbs. per bu. 
Price, 25c. per qt. (by parcel post, 40c.); larger quantity, price 
upon application.
